Taking a look at the Log of the Ancient, Dilan realized once again that a lot had changed since the Primordial Ascension six days ago.

However, he was still not satisfied with how his stats looked.

It might be great for an ordinary Ascender at level 6, but Dilan knew that he had a lot to improve and work on.

Given his current strength, it would be quite difficult for him to fight another Mutated Swiftness Zombie without being scratched.

He would have to use the 1.0 unallocated status points in his Agility to achieve this, which was quite a hassle.

‘Do I need to go outside and search for a wider variety of monsters?’

Dilan figured that levels were quite easy to climb up and surpass as long as one killed enough monsters of a higher level, but the issue was receiving status points.

He considered that it might be a good idea to use the hospital to level up, and to rest, while slowly expanding his hunting grounds to the outside.

His visit to the supermarket was still pending as well, which made it one of his destinations to consider going to, even if it was likely to have been plundered already.

With a deep sigh, Dilan averted his attention once again.

The Gate on the second floor was the place he wanted to take a look at after defeating the monster that had punched dents in the door of the left corridor.

But before he would give in to his excitement, Dilan returned to the T-intersection.

He had made a mistake before by trusting that the doors to the patient rooms would endure the zombie’s strength.

However, his assumptions were proven wrong by the zombies that kept pounding on the doors, making him feel as if the doors would not hold them in for long.

This was also the reason why he entered every single room in the hallway before taking a look at the number of zombies, if they had undergone any kind of mutation or if their level had risen to a dangerous extent.

It was a slow and gradual process, but his mana was slowly replenishing as well.

With a Mana stat of 3 Units it took him slightly less than 90 minutes to replenish everything.

Thanks to his proficiency with mana that was consistently improving, Dilan was actively trying to sense the mana in his surroundings.

It took him a while, but owing to the information he received through the [Thunder Step] ability crystal, Dilan was even capable of pulling traces of mana towards him, accelerating the replenishing process of his mana.

Dilan ignored a few lone zombies that were in the patient rooms, and closed the doors after he figured that they were not dangerous.

Only after a while did he encounter some monsters again.

He had already been waiting for them because the ear-piercing thunder noise of the Mutated Swiftness zombie’s [Thunder Step] should have attracted quite a lot of beasts on the second floor.

But nobody came after him, which was quite weird and unexpected.

Dilan was quite impatient owing to his expectation of encountering more than a hundred horned rats.

As such, he used his entire strength to push his feet off the ground as he blasted himself towards the batch of less than 50 monsters.

Because his expectations were too high, his fighting style was far more aggressive than earlier.

He wanted to fight more, and clash with stronger opponents, as he was getting bored fighting the horned rats and Krendels at level 2 and 3.

Their sole purpose was to provide him with Essence and the rats’ horns.

Thus, he calmly stored the Reinforced Stone Spear between his back and the backpack after he took two slightly longer rat horns out of the backpack.

Dilan simply stood facing the small army of monsters that was right in front of him. He made no attempts to retreat.

Not a single trace of fear was visible in his eyes, Dilan pushed his feet off the ground to shoot through the rats and Krendels, using both his feet and arms to eradicate the monsters.

Blood splattered on his new clothes, and on his face, smearing him red.

Yet, he paid no attention to it and instead the glow in his eyes intensified, while the excitement that coursed through him made him feel truly alive.

Adrenaline kept circulating through his veins, and Dilan’s movements accelerated as he kept hacking and slashing at the surrounding monsters all of whom were dead in less than 10 minutes.

His surroundings turned into a giant mess of blood, intestines, revealed bones, and dead bodies all around him.

Gathering the Essence crystals of all monsters was a hassle because it took simply too much time.

It felt like somebody pricked a needle and burst his bubble he had entered while fighting against the rats and Krendels.

This frustrated Dilan, but he still knew that he required the Essences to level up.

Yet, even after more than 50 Essence crystals crumbled in his hands, he received no message about a level up.

Dilan felt as if he had been betrayed, further dampening his spirits as his mood began to worsen.

However, he understood that this was not really true, and that it was just his frustration that caused him to grumble.

The Essence he had absorbed just now didn’t disappear after all.

‘I’m getting a little bit greedy, aren’t I?’ Dilan asked himself before smiling lightly.

Throwing a glance at the Log of the Ancient, he saw that his mana had been fully replenished.

Afterward, he looked ahead, just to see that he was near the intersection that should lead him to the hallway that connected him to the left corridor.

There was still some time left before he would reach the intersection, but that was to his advantage.

According to Ailee’s words the left corridor probably had a small open space for guests and patients to rest and relax.

This resting room would be on his right side, while the path towards the door of the left-sided corridor would be to his left.

She said that the Gate where the horned rats and Krendels came from manifested at the end of the resting room.

This would mean that it was likely for the monsters to have created their base somewhere around there.

Dilan found this information quite important but also frustrating because he had to figure out what he should do first.

He could either attack the strongest beast that was ought to be extremely powerful, and choose the left path, or focus on the huge number of horned rats and Krendels on the right.

However, in either case, his back would always be open and unguarded against surprise attacks and unexpected opponents.

While thinking about this, Dilan walked around the corner, entering the hallway that led to all his opponents.

It was impossible for him to know just how many opponents were waiting for him, lurking in the shadows but he was eager to find it out.

‘The more the merrier,’ he thought, even if it would be a bloody feast and a pain in the ass to kill them all!!

With that in mind, Dilan chose not to overthink the situation.

Instead, he chose the easiest path to fight against all his issues at once.

Taking a deep breath, his grip around the daggers tightened before roaring out.

“Hey, you fucking ugly pigs!! COME AT ME!!”

His voice resounded through the hallway, reaching all the monsters that were lurking in the left corridor.

It was merely a second later that several pairs of eyes looked around the corner, only to see him.

Their small round eyes were filled with thirst for blood; his blood specifically as they ran towards him without a single thought of hesitation.

More and more monsters swam into Dilan’s view. The stream seemed endless and they filled the hallway in under a minute!
